If you say the word 'expat', within 30 seconds someone will say 'city shop'. It's basically Shanghai's answer to Whole Foods and is full of western families, their screaming blond kids and their bemused ayi.

Ok, we have snuck in here for a baguette and boneless chicken breast from time to time but the prices are laughable.

Where else in the world are you going to pay £10 for a box of Alpen? Switzerland maybe.
